Welcome to the playground. I am blown away every time I come here by the people and the information they share and how many happy hoopers there are out there. You know this is just the tip of the iceberg, too.

I recommend checking out Safire's free tutorials. She knows so much and is great at breaking down the moves so they is easy to understand and actually do. I finally learned to leg hoop (something that had seemed beyond my capacity to execute before that) from one of her videos.

You should be able to find more hoopers in your general area through a search of the Groups, too.
